Waterfront

Open 7:30am - 5:30pm, and until 4pm Sunday. Closed Tuesdays.

My life changed when I discovered La Parisienne. Until then, I had not realized that I could find European-style chocolate-filled brioche right here in my home town of Morro Bay. Not to mention delicious croissants, tasty pastries, fabulous quiches and so much more.

Open daily 11am - 9pm

The Flying Dutchman is one of Morro Bay's many classic waterfront restaurants. Dining is available both inside and out with wonderful views of Morro Rock and the harbor. The menu is varied enough to satisfy appetites of land-lovers and sea-farers alike. You'll find standard dishes such as fish and chips and a burger, as well as a few creative options like local sand dabs and a delicious seared ahi salad.

If you're in the mood for a hand-carved roast beef sandwich, Hofbrau is the place to be. The tantalizing aromas should help you find your way to the restaurant hidden behind the other shops. Hofbrau offers a casual dining atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Diners pick up a tray and place orders at the counter where the soups and salads are served cafeteria-style. At the beginning of the line is the roast beef, carved per order. It's difficult to get past the delicious smell and actually order something else, but whatever your choice, I'm sure you'll be pleased with it.

Open daily from 9:00am - 6:00pm

Ah Giovanni's. When you're hungry for fried oysters, there's just no other place. Giovanni's offers a unique approach to bayside dining with an outside window for ordering and picking up your meal (one of two in town). There are a good number of outdoor tables available, thanks to the remodel completed this summer (no inside dining here). The line can be quite long and you may have to wait some time for your food. However, the many seagulls and pigeons walking around should tell you that it's worth the wait.

Open daily 11:30am - 3:30pm, dinner 5pm - 9pm
